Description
My name is Getrude prefer to be called
Trudy. I have been caring for more than 15 years now.so I believe I got so much experience. To me it's been so rewarding as I find myself giving other people something to smile about and be thankful. I'm a bubbly lady who always sees half-full glass. Each day is a bonus to me and that gives me something to smile about which most people say it's contagious, others say they feel relaxed around them also balance between being serious to focus with serious issues and relaxed if the need arises. I have worked with people in need from a broad spectrum. I have hospital experience including mental health, severe like peg feed to low disabilities and companionship. Have worked with children some with challenging behaviours, others, some self-harming etc and young adults. Have experience with the elderly. I have done community care which brings a bit of pressure as you have to drive from one client to the other but I can work under pressure and still deliver good quality care. My hobbies are doing puzzles 1000 pieces is my best, I love knitting, travelling, social outings and cooking
